Looks like this is a work around for a bug that was in Python 2.5. http://bugs.python.org/issue4607: >From kombu code: def uuid4(): # Workaround for http://bugs.python.org/issue4607 if ctypes and _uuid_generate_random: # pragma: no cover buffer = ctypes.create_string_buffer(16) _uuid_generate_random(buffer) return UUID(bytes=buffer.raw) return _uuid4() -- Brian May <b...@debian.org>
